Right L5 S1 Discectomy and Laminoforaminotomy.

Are you serious. Your just afraid of throwing up.

I'd hardly be sweating over that prospect. Better yet, if it should happen, the resulting clean-up will be assigned to some other person. Now you should be worry free again.

 

[JDar]

Tell anesthesia of your concern and ask if one of the anti-emetic drugs would be appropriate for you. There are some very effective ones.

 

[EJBasile]

Don't worry about vomiting. Its natural and unless your gag reflex is impaired, your not going to choke and die. I know, it is disgusting, it tastes bad, smells bad, and it burns your throat a little, but it won't kill you.

I think you may have emetophobia, the fear of vomiting (and yes that is the scientific term).

Think I may have, hell I know I have it.

When I go up with new photographers in the helicopters I have to tell them to let me know if they are gonna ralph, because if I see someone retch, I'll blow chunks.

I can fly upside down, been in an auto-rotate crash in a helicopter, been sailing around the world and never been motion sick in my life. Throwing up scares the hell out of me though.

 

[iSaint]

been sailing around the world .

What? When??? Where??? I've never sailed but I want to learn so bad!!! I love hearing and reading stories about sailing.

Went in for my two-month evaluation today.

Everything's healed nicely, but my back is very stiff in the morning. My right big toe flexor has atrophied due to nerve damage - whoopee. No big news really.

Allowed to continue at the gym, no bending and now have to start physicial therapy.

Yeah, I have time for another item on my schedule.

Physical therapy sucks. It's a bit better when you have a hot nurse, who when she bends over, you can see half way to china since she doesn't wear underwear.

I guess it would be a different gender for your preference, but still the same idea.

Hope it goes well, PT is always a pain in the ass (more so with scheduling.)

 

[iGary]

Yeah, PT isn't really that bad. I just don't fracking have time for it.

They want me to go three times a week for 6 weeks (at 30 bucks a pop co-pay).

 

[XNine]

GAH! That's stiff! 30 bucks? Mine was under workman's comp for a serious knee injury (I had major reconstructive surgery on it at the tender age of 21).

Well, here's to hoping your nurse is worth looking at!

 

[LucT]

in a few days you will be so relieved

I just don't want to throw up.

Believe it or not, that's the only thing I am afraid of.

Good luck Gary, and a quick recovery
